republicans rolling grandma off a cliff in wheelchair. republicans sat back and taken it. congressman west said no more and finally the republicans are standing up for themselves. good for them. >> he said he is not going to apologize. listen to congressman west talking to martha mccallum today. >> i can be direct in my language, but so be it. the people know about the attacks and enough is enough. >> anything you want to clarify or any part of your statement you want to take back here today? >> not a chance. >> bob: not a chance. can i say to monca, it's nice to have you here on "the five." >> thank you. >> bob: this is the same stuff about -- i was in politicians for 30 years. my candidates were assaulted, some of the most vicious,

nasty, rot ten stuff. did you try to run against jesse helms? it's not just the left or right. but saying to alan west i watched congress for a lot of years and it may have been the most vile, unprofessional and despicable. >> c'mon. >> bob: you don't say this stuff. >> he should have pulled her aside -- >> bob: you interrupted me. >> andrea: he should have said when the cameras weren't around and say you're vile human being. not bring it in e-mail. >> bob: did i bring something here i can't finish a sentence? >> andrea: go ahead. >> bob: the most vile, disspickable, disgraceful, disgusting, disoperated fool i have run across in congress. to make the statement, if he made it on the floor of the house he would have been censureed because you can't say that stuff. he ought to be ashamed of himself. he doesn't show shame. >> that's an adequate description of bill maher. >> eric: schultz picked a fight with decorated army

colonel and didn't expect him to fight back? twice in the campaign she took a shot on him. on the house floor after he walked out, she takes a shot. not even there. she could have said stick around, i have something to say. he walks out nd she took a shot. he had every right to say what he did. he would have said it if it wasbe debbie wasserman schultz or barry wasserman schultz. >> do you think it's the d.n.c. strategy to go after decorated military veteran? what is the mission between the democrat full throttle attack? >> greg: the story here isn't the e-mail. this is the new kind of politician that isn't a politician in 2010, you have a tea party and people represent. these are not the normal run of the mill politicians. they don't play the dirty politics. he gets angry and shoots from the hip. look at him and go that is the

not being lied about and not smeared without a real fight. >> bob: maybe they could do it -- can we talk about the debt. >> greg: the debt. >> andrea: bob you said that the cake is already baked, they have a deal. so why are they torturing us with the political theater? why are they torturing greg gutfeld? >> bob: did you fall out on the wrong side of bell this morning? come down. >> andrea: why? >> bob: you're yelling at me. >> andrea: poor bob. >> you don't chew nails for breakfast. >> eric: what is going on? >> bob: part of the reason that the democrats are coming down in the medium is they are running in resistance among democrats on real cuts in the social security and medicare, which include by the way, changes in inflation on social security and maybe the age. other thing on the house side, cantor has broken ranks with

the tea party people. they're trying to count heads. they have two problems. the far left of the democratic party not willing to go along with the entitlement cut. the far right tea party people are not going with the tax piece in the end they will have a vote and it will be clear by three or four votes in both chambers. >> eric: allow me to say this is the -- we are played for the fools. biggest scam on the american people ever. moody's met today with the g.o.p. freshmen, the tea party. they said don't raise taxes. so all of a sudden moody's meets with them? we know they're against raising taxes. guess what, it provided cover for them to cave. anyone that was going to cave, wanted to cave. >> we should be worried as well. we don't know the detail. i know that you said this is good for president obama. but say another ceo --

yesterday we had steve wynn, coming up and criticizing the president. let's take a listen. what home depot founder had to say over president obama. another ceo not happy. he said bernie marcus that the speeches are wonderful. his output is incredibly bad, even brain dead economists understand when you raise the taxes you cost jobs. he doesn't understand the problem businesses face. you don't hear it from you and i. this is from the job creators. >> steve wynn one of the cofounders of home depot, and the ceo of coca-cola and the chairwoman of pepsi also made very similar comments. plus, today, we saw the new first-time jobless claims last week going up to 418,000. and anemic economic growth between 1.4 and 1.6%. why? >> all the ceos are expressing here.

is what every small medium and big-size business owner thinks and believes now. big government, big spending, big tax. big entitlement government produced enormous cost and uncertainty. >> go ahead, bob. >> bob: can i have something to say between the anarchists going along with this. >> it's government, bob. >> bob: the person from pepsi and coca-cola both signed the letter from the chamber they wanted to see the debt ceiling thing go through. and the second thing is when you sit back and say this is the biggest scam on the american people. >> ever. >> bob: the biggest scam is allow you guys and tea party people taking the country over the edge which is what you're doing. it's not patriotic. as i said all week, anarchists. >> by the way -- >> we're almost over. they have a vote on "cut, cap and balance" tomorrow. so you know, so we're almost out of the woods. >> okay. >> greg: awesome. >> andrea: all right. we have more to get through. stay with us. don't forget, we want to hear

they -- >> everybody gets this. this is not one, this is a no-brainer. >> doesn't it show the fear? this is a government fear of islamophobia. they're afraid. if you read the website they talk about how they are going after behavior, not after the identity. that is baloney. baloney. >> bob: if that was you and me, it would qualify for terrorists. >> greg: have you ever noted a burglar in the burglar alarm commercials, they always look like me. >> bob: they do. black outfits on. >> greg: the bad guy always looks like me. i am a burglar. >> monica: can we report d.h.s. for terrorizing all of us? according to their criteria here, all of us fit the profile of a domestic terrorist. >> eric: bingo! >> monica: in 2009 -- >> eric: so they're profiling us. >> bob: there is something to that. i'm not sure that is off.

likely to commit act of the mestic terror if you owned a gun, went to church or served in iraq-afghanistan. >> bob: that i can agree with. >> eric: let's do this there is a cartoon circulating right now, apparently al-qaeda has decided to produce a cartoon that teaches young kids how to become terrorists. sent a few frames out. isn't this what we are concerned about? al-qaeda telling muslim children that western propaganda is bad and you should grow up to be a terrorist. >> andrea: this is nothing new. a year ago we had one of these surface. it's scary they are indoctrinating the kids to hate the united states so much. especially more reason to be individual leapt at home. they are going after the kids. they're like three years old, four years old, five years old. c'mon! >> eric: that is funny? >> bob: it is, because what do you expect them to say in cartoon to their cades?

why don't you go to mcdonald's? they're trying to get them to join the terrorist movement. the kkk in this country used to have cartoons and did the same thing and hitler did. what is new about this? >> andrea: what should they say to their kids? maybe a healthy message about abcs. what happened to abcs? i'm sure it's not the same in the arab language but you get what i'm saying. >> eric: to your point, no. the al-qaeda should do that. but when they put a movie out all the feedback from muslims was positive. >> monica: in the muslim faith there is a command to wage jihad. this is what they do. the palestinians have been doing it for years, indoctrinating their kids. >> greg: you have to have faith in kids. they don't like to be preached to. they don't like us. >> eric: i to go and take a break. stay with "the five." we have more to get through in a couple of minutes.

to use force. but he won't do it because he's scared. >> monica: that disrupts the carrying out of their duties because suddenly they're now doing a mental calculation of how many cell phones out there? now off thug on the run because he has to stop and think. what did you think the cop was doing? helping a little old lady across the sidewalk? did you expect him to do something bad? why would you -- >> bob: i bet you every one of you guys on the bumper sticker have we support our local police. let's change the subject. >> andrea: what is wrong with that? >> bob: nothing. it's fine. >> andrea: in new york city, the cops are the finest. it hug them and high-five them every time i see them. i don't know why you have an angry attitude. >> bob: i been arrested a few times. >> andrea: because you probably were doing something wrong. >> bob: listen. move on to another subject. please. this is a similar -- well, not a similar, but in florida, the government is selling perm

demographic trends to sell you stuff. here is a bigger question. florida is doing. this i wonder how many other states are doing it? the states are broke. they can't print money. they have to balance the budget. >> andrea: but in their defense it's tough to get a lexus nexus account. it's not easy. >> bob: they turned me down three times for it. now, just in a similar -- no, no, no. i thought they were being -- never mind. i'm going to get in trouble again so i'll be careful. massachusetts, massachusetts. you talk about big brother situation. they have the license plates now that cops can scan as you drive along and they can tell you where you are. now, i don't know about you, greg, but there are times when i've been in places that frankly i don't want people to know where i am. particularly the cops! >> greg: i won't dispute that claim, bob. no wonder you're worried. i don't have a problem with this. this is about collecting parking tickets. i'm a libertarian, you know,

leave me alone. that's my motto. but if you are not doing anything wrong, why worry about it. >> monica: i am totally opposed to this. i think this is a revenue driver for a point you raised that the states are broke, they are looking for every possible way to raise revenue. >> bob: you think that is what it's about? >> eric: it's about control. that's what the liberals love. they want more control. >> bob: i'm having a nice conversation. >> eric: soon it will be hey, you know -- you had a chip in the back of your shoulder. >> andrea: they give up information going through e-mail and google. they know more about you. beware when you sign the terms and agreements. >> bob: we almost got through an entire segment on "the five" without eric attacking liberals but he had to bring it in, in the end. stay with us on "the five." we'll be right back. @=h
